Having a hard time deciding on if my dad should walk me down the aile alone or both of my parents. I am really close to them both. I really want to include my mom, she is a big part of my life and dads get everything-walking down the aile-the dance.
Any suggestions?

Re: walking down the aile dad or dad and mom
My father is going to walk me down the aisle. My parents only have two children and we are both girls. My mother and I are very close, but we have our movie nights and shopping and all those kind of things. When I was young, my father coached my softball teams, but since I have gotten older, we don't have that one thing that we do together. I figure he's been waiting my whole life to walk me down the aisle and I don't think he should have to 'share' that experience. I love my mom so much, but this is just something that I want to 'give' my dad.

Well i originally was saying i wanted both but my mom said that she thought only my dad should..she wanted all eyes on me.
Thats the same with me, I posed the idea of both to my mom...and she was like I think it something you and dad should do alone.... but I really wanted to include her.... so I dunno.... the other day she said if I wanted her to she would be honored.... I am very very close to her!!!!
but i wonder also...will dads feelings be hurt???
Ahhhh!!!

i am not sure, i feel the same way. I dont want to hurt either of their feelings. I think that I am going to play it by ear.

Enter step-parents and then try and figure this out! I am closest to my mom, but will have my dad and my stepdad walk me down the aisle. I wish there were room for all 4 of my parents! I think my mom will be glowing as mother of the bride. She's never a shrinking violet and knows she holds a special place of honor that day (and every other day for that matter).
I have step parents too...
I had my mom & dad walk me down the aisle and my step-mom and step-dad walked down with eachother.
I am going through this right now...StepMom has always been a big part of my life and so i thikn that MOM is walking me alone 1/2 way where i will meet dad and stepmom and walkw ith THEM the rest of the wya...still trying to work out the logistics of this...it is SO hard because i dont want anyone to feel slighted...adn they say it is my day..yeah right! hahahaha

Re: walking down the aile dad or dad and mom
wish I could have both, my mom passed away 3 years ago. It's just me and the big guy now.

Re: walking down the aile dad or dad and mom
It was a tough decision, especially since my mom hinted how dad's do get to do everything, but I decided on just my dad. I've always been a daddy's girl and I felt it would be taking away from him a bit. So, I plan to involve the mothers (groom and bride) in the candle ceremony at the Church. In addition, I am doing a special dance with mom at the reception. Not an everyone stop what you're doing and watch dance, just a dedication song from me to her that I'll dance with her.

I'm going to have both my mom and dad.
My dad will walk me down the aisle and we will pick up my mom half way down the aisle....that way both of them can give me away and you still have that traditional feeling of seeing the bride and her father first.

I'm actually having that problem also - my Dad passed away this past June and my brother gets first dibs to walk me down BUT if he decides that he feels that he can't do it I was going to ask my FIL to do it. We're very close. I knew him before I knew my FI!! My Mom thinks it should be one of my 3 Uncles but I'm not going to choose one. I'm not any closer to one than another so we're fighting over this whole thing.
How about having your mom and your brother together...sorry about your Dad....
I had both my Mom & Dad.

Re: walking down the aile dad or dad and mom
Was anyones dad insulted when you decided you want both? I would not want to hurt my dads feelings.
